Telehealth Psychiatry for Adelaide
PsycheTel Australia provides specialist psychiatric care to people across Adelaide and South Australia by secure telehealth. You connect with an AHPRA-registered consultant psychiatrist by video from home, so there is no travel and no waiting room. Please note that PsycheTel is a telehealth service and does not operate a physical clinic in Adelaide. Our telepsychiatry care reaches you wherever you are in the state.
Why Telehealth Psychiatry
Works for Adelaide and SA
Adelaide is a compact city, but South Australia is not. Beyond the metro area, communities across the Eyre Peninsula, the Riverland, the Far North, and the state’s remote regions can be a long way from the nearest private psychiatrist. Even within Adelaide, waits for a first appointment can stretch out for months.
Telehealth answers both problems. It removes the distance for regional South Australians and shortens the wait for people in the suburbs, delivering specialist care to your home rather than asking you to travel to a clinic. For anyone juggling work, study, or family, that difference is often what makes ongoing care possible.
Areas we serve across
Adelaide and South Australia
Because our care is delivered by telehealth, we support people right across greater Adelaide, including the CBD and inner suburbs, the northern suburbs around Elizabeth, Salisbury, and Gawler, the southern suburbs through to Noarlunga and Marion, the Adelaide Hills, and the western and coastal areas around Glenelg and Port Adelaide. We also reach people across regional SA, including the Barossa, Mount Gambier, Whyalla, Port Lincoln, and the Riverland.
Conditions We Assess and Treat
Our consultant psychiatrists provide assessment, diagnosis, and ongoing management for a range of conditions, including ADHD, anxiety, depression, autism, bipolar disorder, and PTSD. We also offer confidential support for healthcare workers and first responders. You can explore each of these on our services pages.
Medicare and referrals
A valid referral from your GP or another specialist is required to claim a Medicare rebate for a psychiatry consultation. If you have a regular GP in Adelaide, they can provide this and share useful background information. If you are not sure how to start, our team can guide you and your GP through the referral process.
Mental Health Care
in Your Language
Adelaide is home to established communities from many parts of the world. Several of our psychiatrists consult in languages other than English, including Urdu, Hindi, Tamil, and Romanian, so you can talk about your mental health in the language you feel most comfortable using. If you would like to speak with a psychiatrist in a particular language, let our team know when you get in touch.
